The Souls of Black Folk:
Project description
As you work on this assignment, your discussion should be informed and framed by the focus of this class.
Just as Achebe’s Things Fall Apart focussed on the experience and civilization of an African civilization and culture group, Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk selection is aimed at helping us understand the African American experience (descendants of Africans in the United States) .
To this end, you may want to focus on the experience (read: problems) of Black America after the emancipation in 1865 up till 1903 when Du Bois book was published
(which was his objective in publishing the book).
You also need to identify and discuss Du Bois blueprint for full emancipation.
A good way of evaluating the book is to access the efficacy of Du Bois recipe for full emancipation.
To conclude your review, you can compare race relations today to what it was in 1903.
